Infinium ended up trying to take them to court over that article, they stood their ground and ended up winning or getting it thrown out, can't remember the exact details.

But seriously, read that article and then ask yourself if you really should waste any more time on looking into the Phantom.

While the console was nothing but a cute idea back during its annoucement, and is now horribly outdated, I hope to GOD some next-gen console salvages its 'controller', because it's genius.

Ya I remembered that article, was just curious if they still intended on releasing it

Fuck next gen-console! Make that bitch wireless/USB (think Logitech MX Duo) or even Bluetooth and no longer would we be tied to a desk for a decent place for the kb/rodent control interface.

I would have abandoned my desk long ago if I could have without resorting to a dungeon-like bed apparatus with a monitor chained to the ceiling and rabbit pelt armrests.

They didn't even show up at this year's E3 at all. I wonder if the investors/VC firm have realized yet that they got played for fools by a con artist yet.

The second it was announced, I knew it was Vaporware.

You guys should have realized that by now yourselves ;(

I still find pretty humorous that they called it Phantom. I bet someone is very rich and in a country where they have no extradition treaty with the US.

I heard about it a few years back, then 6(?) months ago saw G4TV interviewing some guy about the system, but never was very interested. It's scary to see, however, that companies shittier than can exist, and inside a rented mail box, no less.
